Capcom series and while it can be visually exciting to have new characters interrupt a battle, fighting purists should appreciate '02 for its straight-forward style.Īside from lengthy punch and kick combos there is a counter system that works in conjunction with power moves. This feature was popularized by the Marvel Vs. This means that a new fighter simply jumps in after their predecessor is killed, but cannot enter a fight beforehand. This is a straight-up fighting experience that includes three man team battles but lacks the tag-team system of KOF '03. There are also a few clones, but there is bound to be some cross-over between move sets when the roster runs so deep. The sheer number of characters means that not every fighter is a keeper, and some of the contenders stand out from the crowd with incredibly powerful move sets. Karate, Athena, and Chang are all in attendance, and the two games combine to form an ultimate KOF cast. Some of the featured brawlers that were killed off in previous installments are back for more action. King of Fighters 02 most resembles the classic combat of Dream Match '98 and includes a huge collection of around 40 characters. Both titles could've been crammed onto one DVD but because fanatics will see this release as two entries in a collection, separating the games was a good move. Like the Metal Slug release, both King of Fighters '02 and '03 are on separate discs.
KOF '02/'03 has all of these qualities and will put a smile on the face of anyone who wants to take a bloody trip down memory lane. This requires an attention to the packaging, a streamlined presentation, and extra options that make the release relevant to the current gaming trends. There are a number of reasons these releases are successful but it's mostly because SNK knows how to make a classic title more than just a short-lived nostalgic treat. We recently previewed KOF 94 along with Samurai Showdown V and later this year the Xbox will receive the Metal Slug 4 and 5 Combo Pack.
SNK shows plenty of love for their classic library.
